Chapter 0353. Qi Min joint gold and silver coins
"This thing is good, the carving is exquisite, and it can indeed be sold for a good price, but why is the portrait of this person on it so familiar?" Pinched up the gold coin, Li You nodded in approval, and Gao Yang on the other side threw the silver coin up and down, and said quite seriously.

"It's a beautiful decoration, take it back to Chang'an, as soon as this princess sells it, the ladies of the family will definitely buy it, and they will definitely be able to sell a lot."
Imagining that his sister-in-law and the general insurance seller went to sell gold and silver coins one by one, Li Jie couldn't help but jump up with the green tendons on his head, stretched out his hand and snatched all the gold and silver coins back, shouting in annoyance.
"The portrait above is the ninth brother and me, I said brother, sister, you can't have a little talent?" Pinching the two things, Li Jie roared sadly, the cigarette pouch was no longer smoking, and Li You and Gao Yang, who were listening, couldn't help but have a black line in their heads.
"Isn't this an ornament or something? The carved portrait on it is a good selling point, what tricks can you play? Gao Yang, who couldn't hold back his words, was the first to shout angrily, and seeing that Li You also nodded, Li Jie lay on the couch weakly.
"Fifth brother, there have been more and more merchant ships in Fujian recently, you haven't noticed that the increase in the volume of goods, it is too troublesome to use copper coins for each settlement, and the cloth is also easy to be damaged.
"Well, this king really hasn't paid attention, I've been doing business on the sea of the Wa Kingdom recently."
Grabbing the back of his head, Li You smiled, but Li Jie couldn't help but look darker and darker when he heard it, the so-called business is just to rob, Li You, the pirate emperor, is really getting more and more addicted.
But then again, I don't blame him, there are so many entertainment items in Datang, and Li You is not like him Li Jie's brain, it is better to go out and rob than to drink and have fun all day long, gamble and hunt, and bring extra income, why not? Helpless, Li Jie finally covered his head and said: "Let's put it bluntly, fifth brother, we have earned a lot of gold and silver in the business with the Japanese country recently, and it just so happens that His Majesty has given us the money cellar of the two mansions, and we have the right to mint coins, and I plan to issue gold and silver coins, and a gold and silver coin will replace the previous copper coins, which is convenient for trading." ”
"Huh? No, no, no! ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he proposed it, Li You immediately shook his head like a rattle: "How beautiful is it to hide good gold and silver at home?" Take it out and build it into coins and there is no profit, why bother with that effort? ”
Seeing that Gao Yang also followed the little brain, Li Jie almost didn't vomit blood.
"If the gold and silver are put in the house, they can't be put down except for rust, so what's wrong with getting them out and minting coins? Besides, who said that you can't make money, nine cents of gold and other metals will be exchanged according to the market price, and you will make a lot of money, so don't be so old-fashioned! ”
Angry down, Li Jie sprayed like a machine gun, foaming stars, his ears buzzed when he roared, Li You and Gao Yang smiled weakly and nodded: "Yes, yes, what the ninth brother / ninth brother said is very true, really very good!" ”
Seeing that the two of them agreed but were still not enthusiastic, Li Jie had to sigh helplessly, and took out the gold and silver coins again and said temptingly: "Also, cast a portrait on it, even if the king dies a hundred years later, the person holding these gold and silver coins still knows that this is Li Jie, the king of Fujian, isn't this another way to become famous through the ages?" ”
Li You and Gao Yang's eyes finally lit up again, and they suddenly slapped their legs and said, "Yes, why didn't we think of it?" ”
Fame through the ages is extremely tempting in every era, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, the future generations have hollowed out their hearts, no matter how famous they are, I don't know how many will be famous, not to mention a prince like Li You who has no great ambitions and waits for death, so many princes in history have been remembered by future generations, how glorious!
"Ninth brother, rest assured, when I go back, I will arrange for the craftsman to take out all the gold and silver deposits, and all of them will be minted into gold and silver coins, and the king will leave tomorrow, and the king will go back tonight!"
"Ahh Don't do it, you two have money, and there is gold and silver traded with the Japanese country, I don't have it, I don't care, I don't care, there must be my little sister's avatar and name on the gold and silver coins, yes, there must also be my family's Langjun, otherwise the little sister will rely on a few sisters-in-law and not leave, so that you can't do bad things with Brother Jiu. ”
The two guys are one anxious, the other is cheating, Li Jie couldn't help but sweat coldly when he listened, especially Gao Yang's threat made him feel cold behind his back, where did this girl learn it?
"Okay, okay, the gold and silver coins minted by Brother Jiu must bring your sister to you, and the fifth brother is probably afraid of your trick, as for Brother Jiu, you don't have to be busy going back in such a hurry, there are still a lot of things to discuss in coinage, when the time comes, bring a letter to Wei Zhen, just let him do it, and he doesn't need to be minted all, we still have to compare the market price according to the market."
"Then let's do it!"
Saying that, an elder brother and a younger sister, two anxious sons who wanted to be famous for eternity and wanted to go crazy, couldn't even care about the sunset of the seaview, and they all went out of the door, making Li Jie helpless to slap his head again.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
The issue of gold coins is really a slap in the face, but it is to Li You, a stingy ghost, to move, in a few days, and began a rigorous research, market planning, gold and silver coin casting and drawing, gold bureau site selection, eh, is the following people are busy, as the head of the brain, Li Jie only needs to accompany the big customer Li You, Gaoyang a few fishing, just have a little fun.
Anyway, five days later, the first furnace of thousands of gold and silver coins minted, this day the port of Quanzhou is really lively, two strings of firecrackers that people have never seen at the time are hung high on the outermost position of the port street on a two-story small building, in the eyes of the shipowner Hao Shang surprised the crackling and exploded, but frightened the Quanzhou people who have never seen gunpowder to hug their heads, fortunately the firecrackers stopped, Li Jie, Li You took a Gaoyang princess Li Ling all dressed in costumes and walked out of the two-story building, which made the onlookers settle down.
"Today, my Fujian Qizhou United Money Bureau officially opened for business, all past merchants, can be exchanged for copper coins for gold and silver coins, convenient for the public merchants, now my King of Fujian and King Qi jointly unveiled, in the name of my two kings deposit silver coins in Qizhou Fujian, unimpeded!"
With Li Jie's generous voice, he, Li You, Li Ling, and the three brothers and sisters pulled the red cloth covered with the signboard on their heads, and suddenly the crimson signboard was revealed together with several bronzing characters of the Minguo Bank, which immediately attracted loud applause from the surrounding onlookers.
King Min opened a shop naturally could not play temporarily, there were already big ship owners, wealthy businessmen, Jiangnan family children received a notice to come to the scene, after an appearance, all kinds of businessmen have held gifts, with invitations into the door, many small businessmen who did not receive the invitation also want to follow in, but unfortunately the soldiers at the door Wang Fangyi unceremoniously threw out all the drills, and coaxed for a while, the second floor was full of people.
"Your Highness is really the God of Wealth, and he can always think of novel ideas." The representative of the Xiao family, who has been tied to the Fujian warship, and Xiao Lou, the old elder who once "mingled", actually smiled and folded his hands and complimented, but he didn't want Li Jie to shake his head immediately after drinking a glass of wine.
"This time it's not, this king is on the political side, and he has been helped by you for a long time, this time I really want to think about it for you."
Clapped his hands, in the curious eyes of a group of big businessmen, more than a dozen beautiful Goguryeo beauties walked out with brocade boxes under the leadership of Qin Qing, a group of Goguryeo beauties actually wore cheongsam, no need to ask, Li Jie's traversal strokes made a group of big businessmen staring at the girl's thighs first, but ignored the contents of the brocade box, which made Li Jie cough quite depressedly, which attracted attention back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the gold and silver coins that will be issued, and Your Majesty has given my brothers and sisters money, so you don't have to worry about the legitimacy of the coins."
In a brocade box, this square porcelain plate is held, in the center of the beautiful blue and white plate, three types of gold and silver coins are glued to the center, a table and a box are spread, looking at the lifelike characters carved on it, each wealthy merchant can't help but exclaim: "This, isn't this His Royal Highness the King of Min?" ”
"That's right, it's this king, and the portrait of the fifth brother of this king, King Qi, the seventeenth sister Princess Gaoyang and his wife, the three of this king invented gold and silver coins, and you should not be unforgiving if you want to leave a memorial."
Although it was a cold joke, Li Jie spread his hands and said it innocently, which still caused a group of big businessmen to give face to a burst of laughter, looking at the shiny gold and silver coins in the brocade box, a large group of businessmen were really itching in their hearts, especially looking at the delicate statue of Princess Gaoyang, and they were talking enthusiastically for a while, and finally some businessmen couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, what is the exchange ratio between gold coins and copper coins, how many silver coins can be exchanged for a gold coin, how many copper coins?"
When asked the point, Li Jie stretched out his finger with a smile and said loudly to the entire press conference: "Since it is currency, of course, according to the market price, each silver coin weighs half a tael, and it has always been a silver coin, and fifty silver coins are a gold coin." ”
All of a sudden, the whole venue became in an uproar, not too expensive, but too cheap, basically the same as the market price, the Tang Dynasty mainly circulated copper coins, the value of gold and silver is still very high, originally thought that the King of Min spent so much effort, depicted such exquisite gold and silver coins, but to find a way for the merchants to give gifts to fight the autumn wind, so it seems that the issue of currency is real.
In that case, it only takes 1,000 silver coins or 20 gold coins to transport 10,000 pieces of goods from Dengzhou, what volume is 10,000 copper coins, what is the volume of 400 gold coins, how many other goods can be carried by this part of the spare part, and more importantly, how much simpler, and the extra profits are countless.
"Your Highness, in the lower royal road, I want to exchange it for 10,000 gold and silver coins now."
"Your Highness, my Jiang Zuo Xiao family is willing to exchange for 50,000 gold and silver coins!"
"And our Huaibei Zhou family ......"
Originally, I expected that the release of a new thing would be subject to a lot of controversy and obstacles, but I didn't expect it to be like this, even the powerful people of the family who were at the same table with me stood up, but the hot sidelines caught Li Jie and the three of them off guard, and had to stand up and shout loudly and waved his hand down: "Don't worry, everyone, there are all of them, all of them!" ”
The distribution scene was chaotic, Li Jie was surrounded in the center, no one paid attention, and Zhong Yuanhong, the Fuzhou assassin who accompanied the last seat, quietly retreated, looked left and right on the edge of the porch, and then asked in a careful low voice: "Why are you here?" ”
"If the big leader wants to attack Quanzhou, he must figure out the movements of the mountain army!"
